ROCKING IT

OK it's a lousy title. However this geology professor does talk rocks. And great floods, volcanoes, tsunamies, earthquakes. Mostly in Washington because that is where he teaches Geology at Central Washington University, His name is Nick Zentener. This is his home page. He has done public lectures over the past several years. Does shorter videos on specific areas and I believe the local PBS station might carry them. He's also done YouTube videos during the lockdown. Both for his students and to keep from going stir crasy.

It seems that I am more visually oriented than verbal oriented. I read new material and absorb it. But it makes a lot more sense if I can see and hear the material too.

In an era of high tech visuals he uses chalkboards for his primary presentations then follows up with prepped visuals. I knew that the high Cascades were a string of very dormant to gee, I hope Mt. so and so doean'r wake up any time soon. I'm living in Eastern Oregon now. About three or four miles from the Columbia River. And it turns out on top of a series of ancient flood varieties of basalt and granite. The Columbia River Basalt Group flows cover parts of Western Idaho, Eastern Washington, and North Eastern Oregon. Some of the flows made it all the way to the Pacific Coast.

Anyway if you are  curious check him out. He is up front about being a teacher, not a researcher. He is one of the best presenters I've come across in a long time. He lives and teaches in Washington so that is his main focus, but what the heck, he's up front about it.
